Klopp Praises Impressive Szoboszlai on Bright Start to Liverpool Career

It’s no news that Dominik Szoboszlai who arrived at Anfield from RB Leipzig in a €70million deal during the last summer transfer window has settled pretty well into life under Jurgen Klopp, pulling impressive strings in his appearances, so far.

The Hungarian joined the Reds when they were in a dearth of midfielders following the departure of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, and he alongside Alexis Mac Allister has been one of the best additions to a Premier League side so far this season.

Yesterday, the 22-year-old’s screamer extended Liverpool’s lead against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, after Cody Gakpo drew them level in the opening minutes of the second half, before Diogo Jota completed the comeback that saw them advance to the competition’s next round.

Reacting to the Hungarian’s performances so far, Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s so long ago that he’s here I forgot what I thought when he came in. Since the first minute of training, it was pretty impressive. He’s a top bloke, really top guy. Easy step into the team dressing room-wise and stuff like this. A very naturally confident boy and that helps and a super-hard worker and that’s what you see.

“Today he came on and had two very difficult situations; he stepped on the first ball when he defended a counter-attack and lost the ball there. Then the next one I think he lost as well. From that moment on, he was just in the game.

“That is super-important. He enjoys it a lot being here and the people obviously appreciate it as well. It’s a good situation. Long may it continue.”
